    Salon is taking Obama's lemon and is trying to make lemonade.

    And kudos to it for trying. A left wing newsite ought to support Democratic candidates in difficult times. Three cheers for Salon!

    Now if what is said in the article is remotely true (and I have my doubts) then maybe- just maybe- Obama can get through this slip up unscathed. It may be evidence that some of the staunchest Republican voters are taking a second look at the choices and don't like something about McCain. There is no longer an immediate negativity to Democrats. This means they may hold their noses and vote for a Democratic nominee.

    Or maybe I'm fantasizing. Thanks for letting me daydream Salon.
